January EMP Meme

ENABLEMEPLZ

meme goes up on the Second Saturday of every month

FOR GAME ADS:

Put an ad up with the characters / crew / pairings / kink you want for your game under the correct game header. This meme is primarily going to be focused on DWRP games but IJ and LJ games are allowed.

PLEASE NOTE A RULE CHANGE HERE. ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no oversized banners (they must be 250px in height or less), no blinking text, no obnoxious table html that doesn't collapse easily, no fonts and other html that make ads super long, no sparklies, no large pictures). Use all the colors you like, but please remember 3 "big" tags is the limit and that's only for headers or title text rather than for all the text in an ad.

FOR GAME QUESTIONS:

RPers interested in a game can create a header for the game and ask questions about that game that aren't easy to find on faqs, such as the actual pace vs. what's listed/what kind of plots are run/if the game leans more towards plotty or slice of life/if a game leans more towards network or logs, etc. Both anon questions and anon answers are welcome in this section just like in the rest of the meme.

This thread is not for speaking about wank or drama in a game. There are anoncomms that exist for that. This thread is specifically for general questions about a game that rpers want to get perspective on from players already in the game. Answers can be slightly negative (such as saying app response is slow or that the plots are repetitive or similar things) but this should at least be worded politely. Unnecessary vitriol, any mention of personal drama or wank, or mod teams/individual mods/players being singled out, will be either frozen or screened (based on what seems right based on the content).

FOR CHARACTER ADS:

Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL ads, there is a separate subthread but for character ads for games, post directly to the meme post. Others will comment to you with the games/casts they want you to join.

There is a "Find a Castmate" section, where you can talk about a cast you play in at a game, and try to lure people to join it. Not all games post to the meme or have a "wanted" section, so players that want to tempt people to their cast on their own can use this section for it. Please format this the same as the PSL section, where you post your character's canon in your subject. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find a Castmate" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. When listing who's currently in a cast, please do this in sentence form (with commas) rather than in list form.

There is a "Find Crosscanon" section, where you can talk about a character you play and and desired crosscanon for that character. Please make sure this is not too generalized a search, because just wanting general crosscanon can be accomplished with the other sections of the meme. This is for specific characters or character types you're looking for. In the subject, please list the "Looking for [canon you're looking for]" rather than your character's canon. If looking for a character type, list the character type in as few words as possible. Do not make the subject huge or I'll screen your comment. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find Crosscanon" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. This section is only for game crosscanon as in the psl section people can list their preferences.

Examples of crosscanon you can search for: You play The Flash from DC Comics and your dream CR is fellow speedster Quicksilver from Marvel. Or you might play a witch and want cr with other witches in general. Or maybe you play a good character messed up by evil parents and want to play against a villain character you know has evil parents, because you know it'd lead to some interesting negative CR.

There is a "Pairings You Want to Play" section, where you can ask for castmates or crosscanon you'd like to ship with. Please format this with "[YOUR CANON] seeking [CASTMATE/OTHER CANON (if crosscanon)/SEE DESCRIPTION (if a general character type)]. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Pairings You Want to Play" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. Alongside castmates and crosscanon, you can choose to ask for OCs or general character types as well. Try not to get too wordy and please don't outline entire scenarios.

ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding, with the same rules as the Game Ads Section above.

If you're recommending a game to someone, try to match your suggestion to their needs. It's okay if part of your game rec is copy-pasted (such as what the game's about), but at least some part of the rec must be personalized to their ad. Try not to recommend the same game to every single ad, either. Ad spam that isn't individualized in some way will also be frozen or screened. Keep in mind this needs to be more specific than "this game has easy AC like you're asking for but meets none of your other requirements." Make sure you're advertising games that might click with that specific character, where a few elements fit what they're looking for. You should be thinking about the story reasons of how the character might click with the game.

IN GENERAL:

Don't be a dick. This isn't one of the anoncomms, so any snide comments or unnecessary commentary on the RP plans of others will be frozen or screened.

All mod responses regardless of whether they're rule breaks, correction requests (like someone posting in the wrong section), or thwapping someone for spamming copy-paste ads, have always been and will almost universally be public. If someone sends a PM and the conversation gets combative, this will also be made public and posted to the comments of the mod contact page. This is for the sake of transparency so people can judge the emp mod's communications for fairness themselves.

There are times where the player's post may be screened (such as if they posted to the wrong section) but the mod's response will be left unscreened.

Players may sometimes be allowed more than one strike for copy-paste ads since this is often just enthusiasm behind it, but game mods should know better. They'll get one warning for copy-paste ads, and if they spam anymore copy-paste ads after the warning, they'll be banned from the meme.


The meme is for fiction-based RP only (with the only exception being involvement of fictionalized historical figures or historical settings.) Celeb or RPF RP advertising, whether for games or players, is not allowed.

Important note: IP logging has turned on due to multiple instances past and present of problem players trying to return to the dwrp community via emp after being banned other places, so I'll be IP logging from now on, and will compare notes with the rpa and wg mods (as well as game mods) where appropriate if it seems like someone that has been mass banned. I will not pay attention to IPs otherwise. I don't care what people like playing or who's who. So please feel comfortable to keep doing your thing, anon or otherwise. The knowledge will only be used for really egregious problem cases.

HARD SAME. bro changes the genre of the game every time he shows up i swear. his boss fight being really easy if you just follow his rules is such a good meta mechanic also??

anyway it might take a small nudge for aether and dottore to cross paths given the current state of canon, but i play og flavor dottore so even if you think moon dottore is actually dead (which i don't) there's still potential there.

totally up to you! i am quite flexible with things, i think it is much more difficult to be the one writing dottore laughs

i'm open to... lots of things here? i think i was envisioning something where moon dottore had aether in captivity for a much longer period of time and so we have more room to play with aether pretending to be slowly swayed to his side before stabbing him in the back lmao. but if you'd rather play og dottore, uh...

well, okay. hold up. you may have to explain to me what you mean by og flavor dottore so we're on the same page LMAO

oh no problem! i mean the 'real' dottore, like the human who was taken in by pierro and eventually created the segments. real in big air quotes since he considers his segments to also be 'him.' i like being able to play both the creeping menace of game dottore and the weirdness of webtoon dottore, and the segments are designed specifically to be stuck in time so they can't grow all that much.

oh maybe he can be going to nod-krai in disguise specifically to 'recover experimental materials' the way he claimed to be doing in his confrontation with nahida? they can cross paths and he can alter his 'research the descender' tactics to 'mimic friendship and get him to open up that way.' i think a dottore who contains the 'how could i have been so short-sighted?' perspective (as seen when omega was erasing them all) would definitely have the patience for it.

OKAY that makes sense. that's more or less what i thought you meant but i just wanted to check lmao. people have a lot of different dottore opinions and theories sometimes

but sure! that sounds like a perfect way for aether to meet dottore (original), and obviously his hackles will be raised at the sheer sight of him lmao, but dottore can... do a lot of different things lmao...

lie and say he didn't approve of what his segment did. lie and say he's a totally different segment who's really nice we promise. lie and say he regrets everything and was sooo short-sighted blah blah blah. or somehow tell the truth and see if aether wants to kill him or not. aether will probably want to throttle him a little bit anyway, but as long as dottore doesn't give him a hard reason to stab he probably won't, and we can go from there?

yeah dottore is a divisive character, and i get why. i just love my horrible man if there's a mad scientist in a game i'm GONNA imprint on them like a baby duck

where do you like to rp? i've been using discord lately but i'm 100% open to tag a community or something!
ironwind: icons commissioned, please do not take (Default)

[personal profile] ironwind 2026-02-08 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
you are so much stronger than me... i've tried discord rp before but it just doesn't really click for me... the app is strictly for chatting in my mind palace so if i have a thread going in a server i will just wind up forgetting about it

i do have an open post that you can use (as you can see from the comm name, sumeru lore is my favorite in the entire game so hello, thank you for dottore)

feel free to go wild! let me know if you need me to do or edit anything at any point!
